More precisely, the discriminant of the polynomial is 133^2,
the discriminant of the field is 19^2.

rnfconductor gives you the prime decomposition law:

If P is of conductor f, rnfconductor will gives you a subgroup H of (Z/fZ)^*
such that for all p not dividing the discriminant of P,
P factors mod p if and only if (p mod f) belongs to H.
